Ah, the weekend shifts always make me consider new innovations in being obnoxious at work 🔔
A chibi-styled pink-haired person pushes a bright yellow book cart. On the cart is a bicycle bell going "ding ding ding ding" as they ring it. They yell "Excuse me! Coming through!" They want to do this so they can navigate crowds during busy days at the book store. This is on the January 10th page of a 2026 Hobonichi Techo Original.

We're making cute - with chalk pastel!

Crafting Kawaii Club is having fun this fine Thursday night!
A picture of a busy workstation with an open box of mixed chalk pastels above an open sketchbook - one page drawn on with a pink-haired anime style woman staring back at the viewer a la girl with the pearl earring. It says "kawaii club" across the top. A closeup of the kawaii club poster with the character in girl with the pearl earring pose. She has pink hair and wears a pink printed shirt. The background is black.

A cute, anime-style girl holds her hands in a heart shape while a bright pink frame surrounds her and an announcement proclaiming "KAWAII CLUB. Dreamy cute? Twisted cute? Ugly cute? Questions about cute? Come hand out and let's work on all things cute!" The girl herself has a speech bubble by the right side of her head saying "let's make cute!"

You ever abandon something and then stumble across it later thinking "huh. Shoulda finished that."

This was going to be a full page of comic, but there's just something about leaving it like this that I like better
